The cost of a vehicle wrap can vary widely depending on several factors. Here are the key considerations that influence the price:

  • Size & Type:
    • Larger vehicles like vans and trucks require more materials.
    • Vehicle shapes and features may require more complex wrapping techniques.
  • Type of Wrap:
    • Full wraps (covering the entire vehicle) cost more than partial wraps or simple logo designs.
  • Material Quality:
  • Design Complexity:
    • Intricate designs with multiple layers or custom artwork add to the cost.
    • Simple designs with minimal elements will be more affordable.
  • Installation Fees:
    • Expertise and time required for installation, especially for larger or more complex vehicles, contribute to the price.

At Modular Wrap Co Ltd, we provide a detailed estimate based on these factors so you know exactly what to expect.


The Longevity of Your Vehicle Wrap

The lifespan of a vehicle wrap depends on maintenance and exposure. Hereโ€™s what to consider:

  • Exposure to Elements:
    • Wraps exposed to sun, harsh weather, or frequent washing may wear faster.
    • Storing your vehicle in a garage or shaded area can help extend wrap life.
  • Quality of Materials:
  • Maintenance:
    • Proper care (non-abrasive cleaning, avoiding power washing) keeps your wrap looking new longer.
  • Installation:
    • Professional installation ensures a longer-lasting vehicle wrap. Poor installation can result in peeling or bubbling.

Can I Polish Over My Wrap?

Yes, you can polish over your wrap, but please follow these tips:

  • Choose the Right Products:
    • Only use polishes safe for vinyl wraps. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Polishing Tips:
    • Use light pressure when polishing.
    • Use a soft, lint-free cloth, such as a microfibre cloth, to avoid scratches.
  • Test First:
    • Always test the polish on a small, hidden section before applying it to the entire vehicle to avoid potential damage.

Removal and Replacement

Yes, vehicle wraps are removable. Hereโ€™s when you may need to remove one:

  • End of Lease or Sale:
    • Remove the wrap if you’re returning the vehicle or selling it to restore the original paintwork.
  • Design Refresh:
    • Swap out old graphics for new ones to keep your branding fresh.
  • Wrap Damage:
    • If the wrap is damaged, it can be removed and replaced with a new design.

We also offer professional wrap removal services to ensure no damage to your original paint.


Durability: What to Expect

Wraps are durable, but several factors affect their longevity:

  • Vinyl Quality:
  • Installation Quality:
    • Professional installation ensures the wrap is properly fitted. Poor installation can cause peeling or bubbling.
  • Environmental Factors:
    • Extreme weather conditions (sunlight, snow, road salt) can affect wrap longevity. However, proper care extends the lifespan.
